Now, at the age of thirty, Su Shen had a child and a wife. The rest of his life was his to decide, and he chose to spend it with his family.
Not long after his marriage, he had communicated his intentions to his superiors. He sought an appropriate time to retire, willing to undertake covert operations within his capabilities, but he would not return to the military unless there was a war.
Perhaps it was because of this request that Hu Bing had appeared. However, Su Shen was certain of his choice. It didn't matter who showed up now, even if it was a high-ranking officer, he would not succumb to the pressure and respond.
Gu Zi sat beside him, observing Su Shen's expression. She could tell that Su Shen truly had no intention of returning to the military.
At this moment, Gu Zi felt a sense of relief. After all, if Su Shen had responded to the call, it would mean that she would have to live alone in the future.
